Hardcover. DOU, Jan Janszoon (1615-1682) - BROECKHUYSEN, Steven Pieterszoon van - BOLSTRA, Melchior (1704-1779) - COSTER, David ca (1686-1752). 't Hooge Heemraedschap van Rhynland. Amsterdam: Isaak Tirion, circa 1746 Folio (21 x 14 inches). Double-page engraved title-page with original hand-colour in full, 12 superb double-page…engraved maps by Dou, revised by Melchoir Bolstra, engraved by David Coster, which join to make one magnificent large wall-map, and one double-page engraved plate by Bolstra of sluice-gates near Katwijk, all with fine original hand-colour in full. Contemporary red roan backed marbled paper boards, paper label on the front cover with the short-title and date 1746 in manuscript (worn). Third edition, revised by Bolstra and previously published in 1647 and 1687-1688. This detailed series of maps was published by order of the Dike-reeve of Rijnland to document land reclamation in the area. The first 12 maps constitute the revision by Melchoir Bolstra of Dou's map of Rijnland, published in 1647 and 1687. The last map is Bolstra's "Afbeeldinge van Rhynlands waterstaat," or "Consept sluysen". In this, Dutch, context, "Rijnland" generally refers to the area around the Oude Rijn, the lower reaches of a minor branch of the Rhine river in the Netherlands. This river is referred to as "Rijn" (Rhine) in the Netherlands for historical reasons. This small, heavily-canalised and remote branch of the Rhine was, in fact, the river that the Romans used to call the Rhine and the northern limit of the Roman Empire in this area. The term "Rijnland" is itself ancient. Koeman writes: "Obviously South Holland has also had its big names in waterschapskartografie of the 17th century. Among those names dominates that of Jan Jansz. Dou, the surveyor of Rhineland and his colleague Steven Broeckhuysen. Their large map (.) is rightly regarded as the "non plus ultra" of Dutch water board mapping from the 17th century (.) the large scale [1: 30.000]. admitted the full view of the habitation: not just the outposts but all farms and other buildings along the roads. irreplaceable information about the infrastructure of the densely populated area of ??the Netherlands in the Golden Age" (Koeman, Geschiedenis van de kartografie van Nederland, p.138). The Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland is the oldest water board of the Netherlands, having received its first commission to protect the land from flooding back in 1248 from William II of Holland. For several centuries, the daily work of the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland was run by one Dike warden and seven hoogheemraden, of which two came from Haarlem and five from Leiden. Their responsibilities were traditionally to oversee the dam at Spaarndam and the dikes along the Zijl and the Does. The Hoogheemraadschap bought a meeting hall in 1578, that was also the permanent residence of the Dike warden. The facade was renovated twenty years later in 1598 to keep up with the new town hall.This Gemeenlandshuis is the first one used by the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland, but to meet with the Amsterdam Water Board and inspect the dikes along the Haarlemmertrekvaart and the sluices at Halfweg, the Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg was built by Pieter Post in 1645-1648.

Strikingly hand-coloured third corrected state of this finely engraved wall map. In 1745 the waterboard of Rijnland ordered the surveyor Melchior Bolstra to correct the outdated map of Dou and Broeckhuysen of 1647. The results of Bolstra's new survey were engraved into the original plates by David Coster. A map of the Haarlemmer…meer with dotted lines to indicate its increasing size from 1531 untill 1740 and a plate with technical drawings of sluices and waterlevels were added. A very good, hand-coloured copy of this renowned map of the Rijnland district. Some slight signs of wear to the spine, some minor water staining to the bottom margin near the gutter throughout and the margins are very slightly soiled, all barely affecting the plates.l Donkersloot-De Vrij 715. Half red sheepskin and intricately marbled paper sides. With 15 double-page engraved plates, all coloured by hand, including 13 maps. The plate size is mostly ca. 44.5 x 55 cm and ca. 41.5 x 55 cm, the map of the Haarlemmermeer has plate size 55 x 63 cm. An illustration of existing and projected sluices for drainage of the polder and another illustration with title, both after drawings by Melchior bolstra.

THE HAARLEMMERMEER, THE LARGEST LAKE IN HOLLAND "Afbeeldinge van Rhynlands Waterstaat ten Opzigte van 't Vergrooten der Haarlemmer of Leydse Meer met de hyrna Gecombineerde en Omleggende Veenplassen" [Depiction of the water management of Rijnland with regard to the enlargement of the Haarlemmer- or Leidsemeer, together with the…subsequently combined and surrounding peat lakes.] Copper engraving made by Melchior Bolstra in 1740. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 55 × 63.5 cm. Melchior Bolstra, surveyor of the Rijnland water authority, investigated the progressive erosion of the shores of the Haarlemmermeer over time. The former extent of the lake in earlier centuries is indicated by dotted lines. It clearly shows that the lake originally consisted of several smaller bodies of water that gradually merged into one large expanse. Bolstra also devised a plan for the reclamation of the lake. Plans for draining the Haarlemmermeer had existed since the seventeenth century, but they met with strong opposition. Leiden, for example, was unwilling to relinquish its lucrative fishing rights, while Haarlem resisted the project because it derived substantial income from shipping. After a storm in 1836 drove the water as far as the gates of Leiden and Amsterdam, King William I decided that the lake had to be drained. This was ultimately achieved by steam power between 1848 and 1852. Price: Euro 1.250,-.

"De Vier Ambagts Polder in Rynland". Kopergravure naar het ontwerp van Melchior Bolstra, uitgegeven na 1746. In de tijd met de hand gekleurd. Afm. ca. 57,5 x 67,5 cm. De Vierambachtspolder bij Woubrugge en Braassemmermeer, is ontstaan in door het samenvoegen van negen omliggende polders. Deze polders waren verdeeld over vier amb…achtsheerlijkheden. In 1732 verzochten de ambachtsbesturen van deze heerlijkheden, Esselijkerwoude, Ter Aar ("Langer Aar" op de kaart), Oudshoorn en Rijnsaterwoude, aan de Staten van Holland om goedkeuring tot de droogmaking en bedijking van het waterschapsgebied Vierambacht. In 1739 is door middel van elf windwatermolens begonnen met het droogmalen van de polder. Een gesloten ringdijk werd om de gehele polder gelegd. In 1744 viel de polder droog. De uiteindelijke verkavelingsrichting werd in 1746 bepaald. Deze is waarschijnlijk gebaseerd op de verkaveling die bestond voor de drooglegging. De vorm van de oude negen polders is nog gedeeltelijk te zien doordat de strokenverkaveling is aangepast aan de oude polderstructuur. Deze grote en zeldzame kaart met "register der grootens van ieder Ambacht" is "gemeeten, gekarteert en gecalculeert" door Melchior Bolstra (1703/4 - 1779), een landmeter die 45 jaar in dienst is geweest van het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland. Naast zijn cartografisch werk was hij een ervaren waterbouwkundige die veel nauwkeurige rivier- en meerkaarten gemaakt heeft. Prijs Euro 1.250,- (incl. lijst).
